00:00We want them to keep fighting, let's not tell them.
00:02Under the Trump administration, we're ending the Marxist war on women, and you had a war
00:07on women, and we're protecting women's rights, defending women's dignity, and standing up
00:12for the American moms and daughters.
00:15So many are represented here, great people in this room.
00:19American women have never had bigger champions than all of us in the White House.
00:24I mean, it's me, but it's the group of men and women.
00:27We have a lot of men that are like Howard, our head of commerce, I see is here.
00:32What are you doing here, Howard?
00:34Oh, that's a good, he's got his beautiful wife here.
00:37I was saying, what's Howard doing here?
00:40It's like, there aren't too many men in this audience, actually.
00:43But he's a big advocate, and we're going to be making a, right after this, we're going
00:47to be making a big special announcement, Howard and I, and Scott, and a few of the people
00:52on cars.
00:53We have Liberation Day in America, that's where we take back all of this money that's
00:58been ripped off from us for so many decades.
01:02And we start a process, we're going to go with the tariffs on cars, and as you've probably
01:07been reading, it's all over the place, you've been reading and seeing and watching, car
01:11companies and every other form of company, they're pouring back into our country at levels
01:16never seen before.
01:18We're up to, I guess, close, Howard, to $5 trillion of investments already, and there's
01:22never been that much for a year.
01:25We did that in a period of six weeks, there's never been any numbers like that we've never
01:30seen.
01:31They're all coming, they're all coming in so they don't have to pay tariffs, it's very
01:34simple, because if you build your product in the USA, there is no tariff.
01:38On day one, I made the official policy of the United States government that there are
01:42only two genders, male and female.
01:52Is there anybody, seriously, is there anybody that disagrees with that in this room?
01:57I was thinking maybe somebody from the press might raise their hand, I don't think so.
02:02There aren't too many people.
02:04You know, it's amazing, it's got to be like a 98% issue, right?
02:09So what are they doing, Marjorie, what are they doing?
02:13They're fighting for a 2% issue, that's good, let them keep doing it.
02:17No matter how many surgeries you have or chemicals you inject, if you're born with
02:22male DNA in every cell of your body, you can never become a woman, you're not going to
02:27be a woman.
02:31And that's why last month I proudly signed a historic executive order to ban men from
02:36competing in women's sports, and it was very popular, very popular.
02:44We had a track meet, and it was so disparaging to great women athletes, I've known so many
02:50great women athletes, I gave Annika Sorenstam the Medal of Freedom here not so long ago,
02:56and these are unbelievable athletes.
02:58But it's so ridiculous, they had a track meet, and you heard me talking about a long distance
03:03track meet, the man won by five hours and 14 minutes and 12 seconds, and I said, this
03:09is not good.
03:11And you want to see worse?
03:12Take a look at the weightlifting records.
03:13Take a look at the boxing.
03:15Take a look at this.
03:16The whole thing is ridiculous.
03:18And frankly, it's demeaning to women, and you are superior to men, in my opinion.
03:22What do I know?
03:23You are.
03:24Huh?
03:25I see you.
03:26No, they are superior, I've known it all my life, and I'm not happy about it, I'm not
03:33happy.
03:34I also banned puberty blockers, can you believe I'm even saying this?
03:42The sexual mutilation of minor youth.
03:45Now, who would think, you know, let's go back 10 or 15 years, if you ever heard a statement
03:50like that, you'd say, what the hell is he even talking about, right, Brooke?
03:54What is he talking about, puberty blockers?
03:57But that's where we are, that's where we've come, and we're ending it, we're sending it
04:00back to where it came from, oblivion, right?
04:07So in the recent election, we did fantastically well with women.
04:11I kept hearing, women don't like him, I said, I think they do.
04:16You know who don't like me?
04:17Fake polls don't like me, that's who don't like me.
04:20But we were setting records in so many of these cases, and I was for women, I was for
04:26the women, the suburban housewife, where I stopped low-income housing projects from being
04:31built at a house next to you, where people were being decimated, the houses were being
04:36literally ripped up and destroyed, and I stopped it, and we've stopped it again.
04:40We had to stop it again.
04:41I stopped that first term, we had a great first term, a really successful first term.
04:46We had the largest increase in stock market value, 88 percent increase in the history
04:51of our country.
